Islamic historians cite a letter Heraclius wrote to Muhammad PBUH, he said: "I have received your letter with your ambassador and I testify that you are the messenger of God found in our New Testament. Jesus, son of Mary, announced you." According to the Muslim sources, he tried to convert the ruling class of the Empire, but they resisted so strongly that he reversed his course and claimed that he was just testing their faith in Christianity. Imagine that for a second, a Roman Emperor recognising the truth and as much it hurts he actually went back on it, because the people protested, sources said he was a just ruler of great piety.
